HOW TO CALCULATE DOWN-PAYMENT ON A HOME?
The down payment, or amount of cash you'll have to pay toward the actual purchase of a home, is determined by the
lender as a percentage of the value of the house.
1
Step One
Pick up a homes guide from any real estate agent. These are also sometimes available at your local bank, supermarket or newsstand.
2
Step Two
Look through the guide and select a few homes that you like, being reasonable in your selections.
3
Step Three
Know that on most standard loans, lenders require that 20 percent of the value of the home be paid up front.
4
Step Four
Multiply the price of the house you've selected by 0.20. This amount is equal to the 20 percent you'll need to put down on the house.
---------------------------------------------
HOW TO ESTIMATE CLOSING COST ON A HOME?
All those charges, fees and miscellaneous costs sure add up quickly. If you remember the details, you'll have a good idea of what to expect at closing.
Steps
1
Step One
Add up fees for loan processing, document preparation, tax service (to make sure the taxes are paid during the loan), flood service (to make sure the property is
not in a flood zone), loan underwriting and wire fees (the cost of wiring money).
2
Step Two
Include fees for courier service, notary fees, appraisal, credit report and inspection fees.
3
Step Three
Add in the cost of title insurance and escrow fees based on the purchase price and loan amount. (Call a title company to get this information.)
4
Step Four
Remember property taxes. Depending on when the transaction closes, you may have to pay part or all of an installment.
5
Step Five
Include homeowner's insurance - also known as hazard insurance - for a year.
6
Step Six
Add in loan fees or points paid to the lender. (A point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO CALCULATE DEBT TO INCOME RATIO?
Lenders use your debt-to-income ratio (how much you owe on credit cards and loans compared with how much you earn) to help evaluate your creditworthiness.
Steps1
Step One
Add up your total net monthly income. This includes your monthly wages and any overtime, commissions or bonuses that are guaranteed; plus alimony payment
received, if applicable. If your income varies, figure the monthly average for the past two years. Include any monies earned from rentals or any other additional
income.
2
Step Two
Add up your monthly debt obligations. This includes all of your credit card bills, loan and mortgage payments. Make sure to include your monthly rent payments if
you rent.
3
Step Three
Divide your total monthly debt obligations by your total monthly income. This is your total debt-to-income ratio.
4
Step Four
Take action if your ratio is higher than 0.36, which industry professionals would call a score of 36. The lower the better. Any score higher than 36 may cause an
increase in the interest rate or the down payment on a loan you apply for.

HOW TO CALCULATE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS FOR A
HOME?
There are several components that go into a mortgage payment. Missing
something can lead to an unpleasant surprise.
Instructions
Steps
1
Step One
Calculate the monthly interest/principal paymentbased on the amount of the
mortgage, the term of the mortgage (how many years the loan is for) and the
interest rate. A number of websites offer free mortgage calculators; simply plug
in these components to get this number.
2
Step Two
Determine how much the annual property taxes are on the home, and divide this
number by the number of mortgage payments: 12 if it is a monthly mortgage, 26 if
it is biweekly.
3
Step Three
Determine how much your homeowner's insurance will cost annually and divide
by the number of mortgage payments (as you did above).
4
Step Four
Figure in private mortgage insurance (PMI) if you are required to pay it.
5
Step Five
Add these items - the calculated monthly interest/principal payment, insurance,
taxes and PMI - together to determine your actual mortgage payment.
Tips & Warnings

HOW TO DEDUCT HOME EQUITY LOAN INTERST?
The interest you pay on a home equity loan may be deductible no matter what you
use the money for. The deduction can save you money on your taxes.
Step One
Determine if your itemized deductions are greater than your standard
deduction. Mortgage interest, home equity loan interest, state taxes,
property taxes and charitable contributions are the main itemizable
deductions. The standard deduction is $7,200 if married filing jointly,
$6,350 if head of household, $4,300 if single and $3,600 if married filing
separately. If your standard deduction is greater, use it.
2
Step Two
Obtain a Schedule A form if you'll itemize deductions.
3
Step Three
Write in the third section of Schedule A the name of the company to which
you paid home equity interest and the amount of interest you paid during
the tax year.
4
Step Four
Write in the third section of Schedule A the name of the company to which
you paid points or an origination fee to obtain the home equity loan. Only
points you paid on money used for home improvement of your main home
can be deducted in full for the tax year you paid it. You can deduct other
points, but you must amortize.
5
Step Five
Complete the rest of Schedule A.
Tips & Warnings
You can deduct home equity loan interest on your first or second homes only - not on any other home, even if you use the money for matters unrelated to
the home.
Amortizing points, which means spreading the deduction out over the life of the loan, requires good record keeping. When you pay off the loan or sell the
home, you can deduct all the points you haven't taken off before.
The yearly limit on the deduction for home equity loan interest is the interest on loans totaling $100,000 ($50,000 if married filing separately). If you used
all or part of the loan for your business, it might be better to elect to treat the debt as unsecured by your residence. In that way, you can write off the
interest as a business expense. But once you make the election, you can't reverse it without Internal Revenue Service approval.
You cannot deduct interest on any amount of the home equity loan that is more than the difference between the market value of the home and your
mortgage debt.
These rules apply to home equity loans taken out after October 13, 1987. Consult with an experienced tax preparer if your home equity loan preceded that
date, you have questions or your situation is out of the ordinary.
A home equity loan may provide a tax benefit, yet may not be worth the risk of losing your home should you need to default on the loan. Remember that a
home equity loan is secured by your home.

How You Make Money In Real Estate
•Net Operating Income (NOI)
The NOI of a commercial real estate property is calculated by valuating the property's first year gross operating income and then subtracting the
operating expenses for the first year. You want to have positive NOI.
•Cap Rate
A real estate property's "cap" – or capitalization – rate, is used to calculate the value of income producing properties. For example, an apartment
complex of five units or more, commercial office buildings, and smaller strip malls are all good candidates for a cap rate determination. Cap rates are
used to estimate the net present value of future profits or cash flow; the process is also called capitalization of earnings. (Capitalizing earnings is similar
to using a discounted cash flow analysis for companies
Cash on Cash
Commercial real estate investors who rely on financing to purchase their properties often adhere to the cash-on-cash formula to compare first-year
performance of competing properties. Cash-on-cash takes the fact that the investor in question doesn't require 100% cash to buy the property into
account, but also accounts for the fact that the investor will not keep all of the NOI because he or she must use some of it to make mortgage payments.
To uncover cash on cash, real estate investors must determine the amount required to invest to purchase the property, or their initial investment.
